If this is your first time checking out one of our picks posts this season, we’ve changed things up a bit for 2022. Every week we’ll check the Bet MGM lines at approximately 5pm on Wednesday and make our picks live on our podcast against those lines.
You can compete against us, too! Email us at thesportsballers@gmail.com or DM us on Facebook or Twitter with your email address and we’ll enter you in our fan contest. You’ll receive a ballot every week after our Wednesday live show so you can submit your picks against the same spread as us before the Thursday night game. Play against us week-by-week or across the whole season!
After tying with Evan for the best score of Week 1, Cory took sole possession of the best spread picks record in Week 2. Once again, nobody from our fan contest bested any of our three co-hosts.
That said, congratulations to James Dailey, who got seven games correct to equal Eric’s Week 2 mark. He shares the best season mark among Sportsballers fans with Sean Dunn, each with 13 correct picks across the NFL’s first 32 games.
